To set the link speed and duplex mode

1. Start the PROSet utility if you have not already done so (see

“Starting PROSet” on

page 2-7

).

2. In the left pane of the Intel(R) PROSet for Wired Connections dialog box, click

an adapter. (Each port on a dual-port Ethernet PCI adapter appears as a separate
PCI adapter in PROSet.) If necessary, expand a team to access its member
adapters.

3. Click the Speed tab.

4. Under Link Speed and Duplex Settings, select the speed and duplex mode

appropriate to the port and to the type of line to which the port is connected.

Figure 2-5

shows how to specify 100 Mbps and full duplex for one of the ports on

a U575 Dual-Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.

5. Repeat steps

through

for each Ethernet PCI adapter for which you need to set

the link speed and duplex mode.

6. Click Apply to process and preserve the changes. Allow several seconds for

PROSet processing time.

7. In the General tab for each adapter you updated, verify that the link speed and

duplex settings are correct and, if a network cable is attached, that a link is
established (
